There are 2 basic ways to plant in the spring, Broadcast-Spreader (top picture) and Drilling. Growing up we had a red seeder wagon pulled behind a tractor. I remember we planted rice after we pulled the levees. My job as a 10- or 13-year-old was to ride in the back and shovel rice seed into …

X =?
“Solving for X. What does X =”? First, for me to be writing about solving for X only illustrates God’s sense of humor. Only God would pick someone who had to cheat his way through high school Algebra to write this message. In the math world, X is the unknown. In today’s world, Jesus is …
“Open Wide”
We’ve all been there. You’re nervous as you sit down on the strange chair. You wonder will it be painful…how much is this going to cost…what if I just get up and leave as the dentist or hygienist prep you for the unknown. And then when they have what seems like all their tools & …
The Placard On The Bus Tells You Where It’s Going…
You don’t see many of these on the road today but when I was growing up in the 60’s it was a great way to travel. When I was too young to drive, and my dear friend moved to Monticello and Hot Springs the bus made it possible. The bus ride to Hot Springs required …

“Is It Sharp?”
“I knew better but I thought” … (classic words said before something stupid happens) … when Mary asked me, “Are the blades sharp?” Yep…I did exactly what you think…I touched my finger to the “sharp” hedge trimmer blade. As Bill Engvall would say, “Here’s Your Sign.” Growing up on the farm I didn’t wear gloves. …
Accused….
It was the summer after my freshman year in college when my buddy and I worked in Shreveport, Louisiana (158 miles from our home in Hamburg, AR). I was working for Coca Cola as a “helper” on the routes. My job was moving the different drinks from the truck to the store and moving the …
A Strategy Destined For Failure…
When I started my Freshman year at Arkansas A & M, in 1965, I continued my academic strategy of a “Classroom Only” approach. Maybe it was because I was dyslexic (undiagnosed until I was 60 years old) or maybe I just liked the social contact of the classroom, but I found textbooks boring. To compensate …
How Secure Are You?
The past few years have been unsettling. Businesses that we grew up with no longer exist. Government agencies, leaders and even some churches have experienced integrity failures. What we once thought was mighty are not. We have witnessed the anxiety of knowing anything can happen. COVID gave us a glimpse into how life can change …
Where Do You Go To Be Fed?
Lizzie knows to go to her food bowl at meal time. But like all of our dachshunds she places herself at my chair during mealtime because she knows I don’t always get the food from my plate to my mouth. Our dogs, like every dog I have known does not discriminate or think about where …
Marching In The County Fair Parade…
Parades are an interesting part of life. There are the people that line up along the parade route to watch and there are participants. I’ve done both. As a “watcher” you can come & go when you like. You can wave & encourage the people you know as they pass by or just sit and …
